BOTTLE-CLOSING DEVCE.

Be i known that L'FRANZ and aresdent of Vienna, lustriiljlnngery, here mventefjl e new and Improved Bottle- Closlng Device; of which the following Aie e ull ,ycleei,' and exact description.

My invention ,relates to a device for-se 1 curing closing; caps on'bottles and other vessels, and en object of my invention is to provide n y machine Y'Whiel'r will rapidly and 'firmly-pressfthe flange' of the oep outward into, engage'inentwvitli an Ainternal groove :within the ino-nth of' the bottle or other .l attain the alcove-outlinedV object -by dis-V `vupturn'e'd flanges. olf-the closing cover ou@ ward into engagement with the ellned internel rim of the vessel.'

'said hollow spindle, and means carried by one mounted in each of said eyes, a rotatable g ipse take up counter-pressure on the bevel wheel c. Mounted upon a ring z screwed on a hub at the lower end of the head d, is a series of lugs y, each lug normally bearing upon the roller g. In this device, the disk z' is placed on the plate and the hollow spindle o is depressed against the action of the springs h and the tool head a3 rotated by rotating the bevel wheel This combined movement forces the rim of the plate k outward into the groove, as has been described in connection with Fig. l.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In a bottle-closing machine, a hollow spindle, a tool head rigidly mounted on said eyes symmetrically disposed about said head and at an angle to the longitudinal axis of one mounted in each of said eyes, a rotatable jaw mounted on the end of each of said oscillating spindles, means normall pressing said oscillating spindles toward t e axis ot said hollow spindle for forcing said oscillating spindles outward.

2. In a bottle-closing machine, a hollow spindle, a tool head rigidly mounted on said spindle, said tool head having a series of eyes symmetrically disposed about said head and at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the spindle, a series of oscillating spindles,

said disk,a tool head carried by said spindie, a series of rotatable jaws normallyibearing on said disk, spindles carried by Said head and having said jaws rotatably mounted npon the lower end thereof, and resilient means for maintaining said jaws in contact with said disk. Y a. In a bottle-closing machine, a rod, a disk carried b the lower endof said rod, a hollow spin le encircling' said rod above said disk, a tool head carried by said spindle, a series of rotatable jaws normally bearing on said disk, spindles carried by said head and having said jaws rotatably mounted upon the lower end thereof, resilient means for maintaining said jaws in Contact with said disk, and means rotating said'tool head on said rod. l
